not to pick a fight just fyi... i can set up autonomous, reset the chain magazine, reset the chain rope, but i cant fix the hook mech when it bends in, and i cant change the battery w/o the battery =/ so it was more of a NEED of someone from pits, it was something i didnt want to mess up even more =/ was just a pain with the que'rs giving us a hard time... but eh! thats life =/

Jon, many drive teams know a lot about the robot and how to fix it, but not everything, much like you! (not to be insulting, but it is the truth) Most of the time, major matinence may be required or a lot like our engineers, they jsut might want to see the robot and check it, cuz they may see things that you may not. If you remember, when we had a close match, where they qued us immediatly after the other one (did everyone have one of those?) Even our engineers were asking repeatedly to check this or that. Drive team doesn't know everything, probably cuz they didn't build everything (and if they did, WOW)
We often pass pit stuff through volenteers that HAPPEN to be on our team and can go through those area forbidden to most FIRST-ers (we have enought people to do this) and although its kinda our advantage, you can always ask the que-ers to pass it to them, they said they'd do that in the begining (driver's meeting?) so you could have tried that, but shuffling people is hard. Did you tell them your bot was breaking? Sometimes they get soft when you tell them that....lol jk
Anyway, drive knowing the robot is essential, but we all need help
